Ware Friary is a Franciscan religious house founded in Hertfordshire in the late thirteenth century. The friary was established as part of the expansion of the Franciscan order in England and served as a significant centre of religious life in the region until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Fragmentary remains of the friary buildings survive on the site, reflecting the architectural character typical of mendicant houses of the medieval period. The monument represents an important record of medieval monastic organisation and the material culture of the Franciscan community in late medieval England.
